Davido to represent Nigeria at the FIFA World Cup

Hello and welcome to day 92, if this is your first time of reading from me, I’ve been on a journey and you might want to check out older posts, I’m sure there would be one or two you’d find interesting.

I’m actually busier than third mainland bridge right now but I have to pen something, I honestly don’t have a topic planned today, trust me I hardly do and it’s usually a go-with-the-flow thing, that takes pressure off me in a way but it’s not sustainable, or is it?

The World Cup draw was held yesterday, Nigeria will not be participating as we managed to bottle the qualifiers against Ghana right on our own soil, I can’t even pretend, I’m still feeling pains from that horrible showing, it would hurt more when the tournament starts and our national anthem isn’t on the playlist.

So, Davido is on the official World Cup anthem, at least one of our own is representing us, this adds credence to what I’ve always said about the guy, he works so hard and he makes his own luck, it must be a tough weekend for Wizkid stans.

You know where I stand on that, don’t you? I’m a big fan of the two and I just can’t choose one no matter what the context is, like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the two of them have paid their dues and we should be grateful for having two kings to enjoy at the same time.

Tomorrow is the recording of another Music, Movies and Sports podcast with Dipo Ogun and the gang, I’m trying to prepare ahead while also trying to make sure I turn out a document that has a Monday deadline, it’s Saturday afternoon, you know premier league is on TV, what can a man do?

Welcome again April, looks like half of the people I know have their birthdays in this month, from Osasumwen, to Damola of Ontario, to Omamereme and lots more but the one that strikes more has to be the late Fathi Omar, I should write about that guy someday.

I’m not staying long here today, but I must mention the fact that a few people have started writing journey because of this space that I started on the 1st of January, it’s heartwarming that I’ve been able to inspire a couple of people to tell their story through a space as this.

It’s not going to be easy, there would be days you won’t find motivation, there would be days like today when you have to join different bits to make sense, just keep going and don’t stop, you have no idea of how many people are watching, that’s enough aspire to expire.

Enjoy your weekend folks and see y’all tomorrow, I’ll be telling you about a nurse in Igbobi that advised me to have my ankles ripped off just because she didn’t have an answer to my recurring ankle problems, it was a very difficult period for me, I’ll share tomorrow.

Who is after my life?

Show me a cuter 10-year-old. Happy birthday once again my pretty little niece. God bless you and to you reading this, don't stress me with nonsense questions. Love and plenty lights. (Photo credit: Adeyemi Omo Oba) The world doesn’t stop when you lose your loved ones. I learnt this the hard way, and like we have come to understand, it is what it is. I haven’t been here in a long while; to be honest, there’s been no time for me to spare. However, I have a lot on my chest to whisper into the thin air, hoping I either feel better or get reasonable answers. I am also talking to myself here while trying to pass sane messages to deaf ears. Oh well, maybe not. It’s tough to even know where to start from. It was my birthday the other day, and seeing today is the 16th of my favorite month, I wonder where time is running to. Looks like someone we don’t see is tampering with the fangs of time. Why the rush? It was just the first of the month three hours ago; how is today the 16th? Speaking of...

Atalanta broke Ope Cole's heart on a cold Monday

  Stay away from sports betting, Oluwa a wa pelu e o. (Photo credit: Google) I have not seen “Namaste Wahala,” and I might never bother; according to Dipo Ogun, “It’s a complete waste of precious time; I don’t take spoilers, to be honest, but I’ll accept this one, and not bother to watch the movie. We met to record the latest episodes of the Music, Movies, and Sports podcast; it was fun with the guys as always, oh! Deo Banks is back on the cast list after his hiatus, and trust him and Ope Cole to go through their moments of frustrating bromance… We’re used to them now, so we move. This post isn’t actually about any of what I’ve said so far; I’ll write about movies I always wanted to see that I haven’t some other time, but today is about something that happened to Ope Cole, if it happened to me, I might faint three times before daybreak. Yo! I wrote about sports betting and how it should be avoided sometime ago, right? Ope Cole had a running ticket, and his final two games to ...

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...
